Springs of medicinal water, impregnated
with half O hundred different chemicals,
burst through the earth's crust every here
and there within the village, and at intervals
along the roads leading out of it. It is the
custom in the morning for the guests at the
hotels to visit the principal springs before
breakfast, some favoring one water and
some another Some of these wells are in

loungers are traMps, but they are not. The
thoroughbred tramp is too particular and
luxurious to stay in town in hot weather.
The police insist that all vagrants shall
sleep in the station-houses, and as these
are not to be compared for comfort to q
cool country barn or cooler farm wagon,
the tramps all take to the country as
soon as warm weather sets in. There may
be few sprinkled among the sleepers on
the park benches, but the police tell me
that the great majority Of these al tresoo
dodgers Ore young, and even old men,
who have homes in the tenements, but
prefer to camp out on the hard benches
rather than stay indoors and battle
against suffocation instead of sleeping.
With the men on the roofs, or In the
parks, or asleep on the sidewalks, the
women have the tenement beds to them
selves and are better able to endure the
intense heat.
There are other odd street scenes that
are peculiar to the metropolis. The inju-
rious tank of free ice water that mis-
guided charity establishes every year in
front Of the post-office may not ba one
OF these, though 1t is to be hoped it is /;
and possibly every considerable city has
Its penny frozen corn-starch men and
"HOky-poky" venders, who disseminate
what they are pleased to call ice cream
either soft in little egg cups or solid in
tiny bricks; but certainly the numerous
and yet always 0vercrowded "free baths"
are peculiar characteristics Of the dog
days in Gotham. These free baths are
very like magnified eel-pots, and though
the water flows freely through them and
must be constantly changing, even more
rapidly. If possibly, than the relays Of
bathers, yet the river-water is at best of
the complexion of restaurant soup; and
